Seat comprising a seat screen unit

Abstract

The invention relates to a seat including a backrest unit which has at least one seat screen unit, which in a ready-for-operation state displays output signals from an image converter unit, wherein the output signals are transmitted by a signal transmission unit between the image converter unit and the seat screen unit. According to the invention, the seat screen unit has at least one output interface which is provided to transmit signals between the image converter unit and the seat screen unit, and the image converter unit is disposed outside the seat screen unit.

1 . A seat apparatus having a backrest unit which has at least one seat screen unit which is provided for the purpose of displaying, in a ready-to-operate state, output signals from an image converter unit, with the output signals being transmitted by a signal transmission unit between the image converter unit and the seat screen unit, wherein the seat screen unit has at least one output interface which is provided for the purpose of transmitting signals between the image converter unit and the seat screen unit, and in that the image converter unit is arranged outside the seat screen unit. 
     
     
         2 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising an accommodation unit which is provided for the purpose of accommodating the seat screen unit, so that a surface of the seat screen unit, in a stowed position, forms a closed contour with a rear surface of the backrest unit. 
     
     
         3 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the backrest unit has an accommodation unit which is provided for the purpose of accommodating the image converter unit. 
     
     
         4 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising an inclination adjustment unit for coupling the seat screen unit to the backrest unit in an adjustable manner. 
     
     
         5 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising at least one electromagnetic shield element which is provided for the purpose of significantly damping electromagnetic radiation. 
     
     
         6 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the seat screen unit has a liquid crystal screen. 
     
     
         7 . A seat display system having a seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising an image converter unit which is provided for the purpose of generating output signals to be displayed by the seat screen unit, and further comprising a signal transmission unit which is provided for the purpose of transmitting the signals generated by the image converter unit to the seat screen unit. 
     
     
         8 . The seat display system as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the signal transmission unit comprises at least one electrical conductor track which is integrated in the seat apparatus. 
     
     
         9 . The seat display system as claimed in  claim 7 , comprising a releasable connection element which, in a ready-to-operate state, is arranged between the image converter unit and a video signal transmission unit. 
     
     
         10 . The seat display system as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the image converter unit has an image converter which is provided for the purpose of converting an input signal of the video signal transmission unit into an output signal which is specifically matched to the seat screen unit. 
     
     
         11 . The seat display system as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the image converter unit has at least one voltage converter which is provided for the purpose of generating at least one supply voltage for the seat screen unit. 
     
     
         12 . A seat, in particular an aircraft seat, having a seat display system as claimed in  claim 7 . 
     
     
         13 . A method for replacing a backrest unit of a seat as claimed in  claim 12 , which method comprises the following steps:
 disconnecting a releasable connection element between a video signal transmission unit and an image converter unit, and   removing the backrest unit from the seat apparatus.   
     
     
         14 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the backrest unit has an accommodation unit which is provided for the purpose of accommodating the image converter unit. 
     
     
         15 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 2  comprising an inclination adjustment unit for coupling the seat screen unit to the backrest unit in an adjustable manner. 
     
     
         16 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 3  comprising an inclination adjustment unit for coupling the seat screen unit to the backrest unit in an adjustable manner. 
     
     
         17 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , comprising at least one electromagnetic shield element which is provided for the purpose of significantly damping electromagnetic radiation. 
     
     
         18 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 3 , comprising at least one electromagnetic shield element which is provided for the purpose of significantly damping electromagnetic radiation. 
     
     
         19 . The seat apparatus as claimed in  claim 4 , comprising at least one electromagnetic shield element which is provided for the purpose of significantly damping electromagnetic radiation. 
     
     
         20 . The seat display system as claimed in  claim 8 , comprising a releasable connection element which, in a ready-to-operate state, is arranged between the image converter unit and a video signal transmission unit.
